He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Chapter 401

Henry and Kate went silent after she had an ultrasound. Henry drove the car in silence while he glanced at Kate, who was in a bad mood next to him.

"Kitty, I—"

"You don’t want a son, do you?" Kate asked straight to the point.

Henry winced, and he shook his head, "No, it’s not that. I’d love a son. I’m just afraid that we won’t be able to take care of him."

"Don’t worry, I’m a very strict mother," Kate said. She remembered how she spoiled Erin so much that she became a total entitled bitch. "I won’t make the same mistake as I did with Erin."

Henry wanted to say that being a boy meant he’d be more prone to danger because of Marlon’s extreme craziness of wanting to have a male heir that he could control.

A perfect male heir who wouldn’t disappoint him, unlike Henry and James.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say it because that might become a chain of questions about his true intention that would end their relationship.

Just like what he told her a month ago, if their relationship ended, then he preferred her to order his death so he would atone for his sin.

Henry put his hand on her belly and caressed it gently, "Don’t worry, Son. Papa love you, and will protect you from any harm," Henry said. He then looked at Kate, who was stunned by what he did, "And I hope you won’t annoy your Mama too much, or I’ll have to give you a time-out."

Kate slowly thawed once she saw how sincere Henry looked.

She wondered if Henry didn’t want a son simply because he was afraid of creating a little demon or because of something else.

Nevertheless, Kate believed that Henry was true to his words.

"Well, I’m just happy that the baby is healthy. As long as he is born healthy, then I’m more than grateful," Kate said.

"Me too. Our lives will be perfect with our baby," Henry said. He grinned and added, "More babies would be nice, though. We have to give him little brothers or sisters."

Kate’s cheeks reddened.

Of course, she already imagined a lively house with at least four or five children. She was raised with only a sister who wasn’t grateful for everything that Kate did for her.

’I will teach my children to be grateful and to keep a tight bond between themselves. It’s really sad to have a fight with your family...’ Kate sighed.

"Well, I’m sure that Theo will be happy to have little brothers and sisters," Kate said. "Three or four more, if you want."

"Theo?"

"Yes," Kate caressed her belly and smiled, "I’ve decided on his first name. It would be Theodore."

Kate looked at Henry, and her smile bloomed even more, "I want him to be a great man, just like his father, right, Henry Theodore Grant?"

Ba-dump.

Henry felt like his body exploded, and a bunch of firecrackers were popping into his brain.

His heartbeat began to accelerate until he was forced to park his car on the side of the road.

"Henry? What’s wrong?"

Henry said nothing, but he pinched Kate’s chin and forced her to turn her face towards him and then kissed her lips possessively.

Kate was shocked at first but soon indulged herself as she also liked the kiss from her man.

It took a while until Kate began to push himself away.

"W—What has gotten into you?" Kate asked while taking a deep breath.

"I’m just... so happy. My heart is pumping, and my brain gets all fuzzy. I don’t know what I should do to help myself," Henry told the truth. "I’m so happy that you want our baby to have my middle name because it’s the name given by Dahlia. I treasure my middle name so much."

"I’m also happy that you want him to be like me. It makes me want to do even better. I want to be the best husband for you and the best father for our son," Henry said.

There were millions of words left inside his brain. He wouldn’t get bored telling Kate how much he loved her.

Because he truly loved her more than any words could ever convey.

He held her hand tight and put it on his chest right when his heart was beating, "Do you feel it? My heart is beating so fast right now. I’m too happy that I might explode."

Kate nodded.

She could feel his heartbeat that sounded more like a drum, "Our son will become a strong and responsible man like you are. I know he will because he has you as his father."

"And he will be smart, loyal, and kind-hearted because he has you as his mother."

Kate and Henry kissed for the second time, but this time, it was much gentler, and Henry finally knew this was the joy he wanted for so long.

He wanted to be with the woman he loved, with children they had together and was safe from any harm.

It might be a simple wish, but it was a very difficult one for Henry to achieve.

But he would never give up.

’I can’t give up now. I have two precious gems I have to protect no matter what,’ Henry told himself. ’This is the life I want, and I have to work hard for it.’

Sarah was sitting on a chair, drinking her evening tea while snacking on some biscuits.

Meanwhile, Erin was busy at the corner of the room, busily checking all the hands-down dresses that Sarah gave her.

Sarah had to get rid of all of the unnecessarily flashy and tacky dresses that she had, either a gift from a random acquaintance or a dress she bought out of boredom. So she gave it all to Erin.

Of course, she didn’t do it out of kindness.

She had constant contact with Marlon right now, and the representative from the Duchy of York had been visiting the Grant estate a few times to ask if they could meet with Henry since he was the future Duke.

Unfortunately, since Henry was running away, Marlon had to come up with lies and said that he was too busy in his office, and the representative understood.
